Webinar: Talent Identification and Development in Youth Badminton

Talent identification is the complex and difficult process of spotting promising young athletes and guiding them into the training environments where they are most likely to thrive. Unfortunately, because assessments are frequently based on subjective opinions rather than objective evidence, the process risks favoring early-maturing athletes over those with long-term potential.

In this webinar, Prof. dr. emeritus Johan Pion and dr. Kamasha Robertson-Martens shared their insights on how the assessment of physical performance and motor competence can support badminton coaches in making better decisions on who to select talent programs.

Speakers:

• prof. dr. em. Johan Pion (Ghent Univerisy & HAN applied University)
• dr. Kamasha Robertson-Martens (Resolute Sport Psychology & Science)
• dr. Pieter Vansteenkiste (Hylyght & Ghent University)
